Mock My Ad is a Chrome extension by Programmatic Soup that helps users preview uploaded ad creatives inside detected ad placements on live web pages.
Data processed locally
Mock My Ad processes the following information locally in your browser:
- Uploaded creative files, including PNG, JPG/JPEG, zipped HTML, MP4, and WebM files
- Active page structure used to detect likely ad placements
- Selected ad slot details, such as slot size, type, and confidence score
- Preview settings such as fit mode and mock label visibility
- Visible-page screenshots downloaded by the user
Uploaded creative files are used only to generate the on-page mockup preview. The extension does not automatically upload creative files, screenshots, or page content to Programmatic Soup or any third party.
Page access
Mock My Ad runs on web pages where the user opens the extension and uses its features. The extension scans the active page locally to identify likely ad placements, draws visual outlines, and injects the uploaded creative into the selected placement for preview purposes.
Screenshots
When the user clicks the screenshot button, Mock My Ad captures the currently visible browser tab and downloads the screenshot locally to the user’s device. Screenshots are not automatically sent to Programmatic Soup.
Issue reports
If the user clicks “Email issue report,” Mock My Ad opens a prefilled email addressed to ibrahim@commonfolkdigital.com. The user can review, edit, or cancel the email before sending.
The prefilled issue report may include:
- User comments
- Current page URL
- Selected slot name, size, type, and confidence score
- Uploaded creative filename and creative type
- Fit mode and mock label setting
- Number of detected slots
- Extension version
- Browser user agent
- Timestamp
Issue reports are only sent if the user chooses to send the email.
Remote code
Mock My Ad does not load developer-hosted remote code. Extension scripts, styles, and HTML are packaged with the extension. Uploaded HTML creatives are user-provided files previewed locally for mockup review.
Data sharing
Programmatic Soup does not sell data collected through Mock My Ad. Programmatic Soup does not use Mock My Ad data for advertising, creditworthiness, lending, or unrelated purposes.
